KRUPS OF COFFEE.

Advantages: It doesn't turn off automatically, it takes filter papers, and is very simple to use.
Disadvantages: The 'smooth side trigger action' isn't very effective.

...In December 2006, my coffee filter machine broke, well, it was the operators? error, but I thought it was broke ? so, I bought a new one: the Krups version. For those who are unaware, a filter coffee machine is, an electrical device that filters water through ground coffee, into a jug underneath. The jug is kept hot on a heated base, for you to drink at your leisure. Here are the key features: Capacity: 1.25 litres Coffee type: Ground Filter: Paper Cup warmer: Yes Removable reservoir: No Dimensions: H35.8 x W25.5 x D22.9cm Wattage: 1100W Krups is a mid-range brand in the coffee machine world. I had decided on this machine before I went out to buy one: due to the advertised features. I found it difficult to locate any Krups machines in Chester; they had top end machines and the rubbish lower end ones, but Krups, Magimix...

Review of Krups GVX231

Krups Turned Into CRAPS w/ This Coffee Machine

Advantages: Filtered Coffee Does Brew Just like Any other Coffe Machine
Disadvantages: Espresso/Capicinno Portion Hard to use, Made Cheap, No Grinder

...Coffee is sort of the bane of my existance. There are days where i'll drink 2 cups, then there are days when i'll drink 12. It's an addiction really. I personally feel they need to have C.A. meetings for us Coffee Addicts. This may seem like useless information in a Coffee Machine review, but it'll give you a little backup info for the coffee snob that I am. I lived in France for about a year before moving to the U.K. In France they don't do normal "Pot" coffee. They seem to think the only coffee that exists isn't even called coffee, it's called "Espresso". After shopping at all the stores in France that have "rama" on the end of them, I FINALLY found a Machine that had a coffee pot WITH it! I was extatic! Plus it was a "Krups" which we all know that Krups Knows they're Coffee Machines. Do they even make anything OTHER than coffee...

Review of Krups Cafepresso 10 PLUS

Krups yummy frothy coffee machine

Advantages: Posh coffee in your own home
Disadvantages: To get more pods you have to travel to London, or order via the internet.

...This machine along with the wide variety of nespresso coffee pods available makes superb coffee AND you can get top notch frothy milk from the machine as well!! What more could you want???!!! Making the coffee is virtually mess free and there is only a little wiping up to do afterwards. The cup size is either espresso size, or 'lungo' size which is only a little bit bigger than an espresso, so you can easily drink several cups worth in one go if you are a coffee freak like me!! This is something that nespresso, who make the pods for this machine, could perhaps work on as I find my coffee finishes before I am ready for it to finish if you know what I mean?! Anyway the different varieties available are diverse - from very strong, to very weak, and you can also get a couple of type of decaffeinated which also taste just as good...

Super Efficient Coffee Machine

Advantages: Quick, clean and easy to use
Disadvantages: The flavour of the drinks may not be to everyone's taste.

...We have had this machine for almost a year now, and are very happy with it. We bought it after being given a demonstration at a department store. In our household most of us are coffee afficcionados who drink several cups a day. We have another coffee machine with a bean grinder, but we liked the taste of the Krups Dolce Gusto drinks, and were so impressed with the efficiency of the machine that we decided to get one. The Krups Dolce Gusto weighs 3 kilograms and is small, very compact with round shapes. The exact dimensions are 21.4cm(W) x 31.5cm(H) x 33cm(D). It probably wouldn't look out of place in The Jetsons' kitchen, as it has a certain futuristic look about it. We got the black-silver one, but there were also red-silver and white-silver models on sale. It came with a latte glass and an espresso cup...

Review of Krups KP200040 Dolce Gusto

A Ga do do do, grind coffee and shake a tree

Advantages: Looks good, adjustable for fineness and servings
Disadvantages: A bit noisy

...Krups Expert Coffee Grinder, GVX2 Having recently bought a Gaggia Espresso machine I needed to get a grinder to prepare the beans to make the perfect coffee. I'd bought the espresso machine at Bluewater shopping centre and I knew that I'd want to get cracking as soon as I got home so there was no time to look around online to get the best deal. After realising that the only suitable Gaggia model would cost £150 I thought I'd nip into John Lewis to see what they had on offer. The choice there was pretty good with models starting at about £20 running up to the Gaggia model. After being given a crash course in the matter of grinding beans by the very helpful assistant I plumped for the Krups model, GVX2, at £39.95. Before I talk about the Krups model, let me try and pass on that crash course and explain the finer points of grinding...

Review of Krups Expert Coffee Grinder, GVX2

Krups & Nescafe Make Great Coffee

Advantages: Nescafe Brand Coffee
Disadvantages: Availability Of Coffee Capsules

...Two of the biggest names in the Coffee business have joined forces again to create the Dolce Gusto coffee maker. Krups are already well known for making reliable coffee making machines, and by joining with Nescafe who, in my opinion, make the nicest tasting coffees - this machine got me interested straight away. Having opened the box - my first impression of the machine was that it was very simple in design but stylish at the same time. I went for the Black colour option, however there is also a Red and an Ivory option as well. All colour options have silver on them as well. The machine I purchased came with a FREE welcome pack which had a Latte Glass, Cappuccino cup with saucers and a variety of the coffee capsules, all in one box. Its a high pressure machine (14 bars pressure) with removable drip tray and a washable filter...

Review of Krups KP 2000

Great Machine!

Advantages: Quick Work-Out, Cheaper than Power Plates, Great Results
Disadvantages: Only tones your body, doesnt keep you fit.

...This machine is simply a must if you want to tone yourself up and not have the hassle of going to the gym for hours each week! I bought one of these off Ebay, and now so glad i did. Its simply an amazing piece of kit. My Personal Experience At first i thought, surely this machine cant be as good as i've been reading all over the net, people must be exagerating and just trying to sell the machine. How wrong i was.... The first time i used this, i trained at level 10 (ranges from 1-20) thinking i can take it at that level no problem, and sure enough i was ok, i did a few different positions for my legs, stomache and arms. I trained for about 10 minutes, as i wanted to see how much this would actualy do, and sales reports tell me that 10minutes of using this machine is equivelent to 1 hour at the gym. Boy oh boy did i feel it...

Dolce Gusto Coffee Machine - An Acquired Taste

Advantages: Functionaly perfect to operate
Disadvantages: Taste of product is an acquired one

...The post man arrives with my new, much coveted Dolce Gusto Nescafe Coffee machine. I ignore the freshly brewed tea on the bench and begin ripping the box open desperate to see what all the fuss is about. My excitement is three fold because I have been lucky enough to receive this coffee machine FREE as part of my role as a Bzzagent whereby I receive free products to use and share with friends and provide feedback. The machine is extremely well packaged, perhaps a little too much in this age of 'reduce, reuse, recycle'. However, within less than five minutes I have unpacked the machine speed read the instructions and assembled the machine. Assembly involved plugging it in and attaching a drip tray to the front of the machine. Before using the machine you have to use a rinse tool to clean it. This is very handily already in place so...

Dolce Gusto - Perfect Coffee, Wonderful Machine

Advantages: Easy to use, makes great coffee, good coffee varieties
Disadvantages: None

...I bought the Dolce Gusto as a Christmas gift for my husband after reading lots of positive reviews on the internet about the machine. He's the big coffee drinker and I thought he would enjoy something a bit different. (I've always been a cold drinks only type of person - apart from hot chocolate and the occasional fancy dessert coffee - who only liked the smell of coffee but could easily live without it.) However, after ordering the machine, I became a bit nervous. I thought, "What have I done? What if it is too good to be true?" Well, I can happily say that there wasn't anything to worry about. We both absolutely love this machine (yes, I am now a coffee convert) and I would even go as far as saying this is the best and most enjoyable appliance I ever bought for the kitchen. The machine is easy to use. Turn the machine...

Review of Krups KP 2000

Krups Espresso machine type 880

Advantages: Good espresso, good pump pressure
Disadvantages: Not easy to use

...The Krups espresso machine cost £80.00 when I purchased it from a local store. It comes with a coffee holder and a frother. The coffee holder is generally good, it comes with two seperate strainers, one for 1 cup and the other for 2 cups. It has been known for the coffee holder to "pop" out of place if not secured very tightly. This causes very hot water and coffee to explode all over the immediate area. Part of the reason for the holder coming out of place is that the whole unit vibrates so much when pumping that it works its way around the worktop if not held down while it pumps. The frother that it uses is attached by means of a rubber cap that houses a small tube. The tube has a small platic part with a reduced diameter hole at the end. This part got lost down the sink in a short space of time, rendering the frother part useless...
